Stupid me just went looking on google for info and now I've got a bit freaked out. Do I need to worry that I have a high temp? I've got swollen glands and a sore throat do probably linked to that??? Thanks for any advice xxx

I would visit your GP as this doesn't seem right. Its a low grade temperature but still its not normal. Have you taken paracetamol for it? You will probably be feeling like crap, have you got another thermometer you can compare just in case it's that?

I don't no :( its a digital thermometer so I would think its pretty reliable do u think I should try and get a gp appointment? I'm a natural born worrier so google is not really the best place to go!!!

If it had water in it or battery running out it may not be an accurate reading. I would book an appointment just to make sure. They will probably ask you to pee in a pot and test it for infection first. Have you got a midwife appointment soon?

Yes you should see your GP, and take paracetamol for the temperature.
